About Global Agency

Forty-nine years of trusted introductions to Solapur's finest mills.

Global Agency was founded in 1977 by Mr. Govind M. Parikh in Solapur — the heart of India's towel weaving industry. For nearly five decades, we have built our reputation on a simple discipline: every manufacturer we introduce should match exactly what was promised.

We are independent of any single mill. That is deliberate. Solapur has 300+ active towel weaving units — power loom, auto loom, jacquard, dyed, and stripe — and our value to you is knowing which one to call for your specification. Our judgment, refined over forty-nine years and several thousand orders, becomes your shortcut.

Once we make the introduction, you transact directly with the manufacturer. The mill exports to your port. The invoice, the LC, the shipping documents — all between you and the mill. No middleman layers, no hidden markups. Just a relationship that comes with our 49-year stamp.

"From our experience to your comfort — wherever in the world you are."

— Mr. Govind M. Parikh, Founder

How it works

One trusted introduction. Direct supply from there.

From your first enquiry to your container leaving Mumbai, here's exactly how it works.

1

Enquiry & Specification

You share your requirement — towel type, GSM, sizes, quantity, target lead time. We respond within one working day with feasibility and clarifying questions.

2

Mill Selection

We match your specification to the right manufacturer from our 300+ mill network in Solapur. Forty-nine years of judgment, applied to your order.

3

Samples

The selected mill couriers physical samples to your address. You inspect, approve, or request modifications before any commitment. Samples are paid.

4

Direct Mill Contract

You contract directly with the manufacturer. The mill issues the invoice, holds the IEC, handles the LC. Your relationship is unambiguously direct.

5

Production & Oversight

The mill produces. Mr. Parikh provides quality oversight on the floor — your eyes in Solapur during the ~45-day production cycle.

6

Direct Export

The manufacturer exports directly to your port. No intermediate handling, no markup, no surprises. The relationship continues — for the next order, and the one after.

Mill judgment from us. Direct supply from them.

Direct export

Mill to your port. No detours.

Once we make the introduction, the export relationship is entirely between you and the manufacturer. The mill holds the IEC licence, issues the commercial invoice, manages the Bill of Lading, and handles customs clearance — all in your name. Mr. Parikh oversees quality on the mill floor while production runs; the container ships direct to your port.

What buyers say after the first container.

"

We've sourced from four different mills through Mr. Parikh over five years. The quality checks on the floor during production are what sets this apart — two of those orders were high-spec jacquard for a five-star chain.

Mr. Govind M. Parikh, founder of Global Agency, towel sourcing from Solapur, India since 1977

The founder

Mr. Govind M. Parikh

Founder · Global Agency · Established 1977

Since 1977, Mr. Govind M. Parikh has built Global Agency on a single principle: every introduction he makes should match what was promised. Forty-nine years of relationships with Solapur's mills — power loom, auto loom, jacquard — mean he can connect any specification to the right manufacturer at the right price.

Mr. Parikh personally handles every buyer enquiry, in English, Hindi, or Marathi. The relationship is direct, the supply is direct, and his judgment is what comes attached to every introduction.

Frequently asked

Common questions from global buyers.

Are you a manufacturer or a sourcing agent? +
We are an introducer and sourcing consultant — independent of any single mill. We connect qualified global buyers with reliable manufacturers from our 300+ mill network in Solapur. The export contract, invoice, and shipping happen directly between you and the mill — there are no middleman layers, no markup, no third party in your supply chain.
What is your minimum order quantity? +
Minimum order quantity is one 20-foot container, approximately 4,000 kg, with at least two sizes per order. This is the threshold at which manufacturer-direct sourcing makes commercial sense for both sides.
Do you provide samples? +
Yes. The selected mill couriers physical samples to your address worldwide. Samples are paid — sample charges are typically adjusted against the bulk order. We treat the paid-sample policy as a small but important filter that ensures both sides are serious.
What are your typical lead times? +
Approximately 45 days from order confirmation to ready-for-shipment, depending on mill load and customization complexity. Add transit time to your destination port for full door-to-door estimates — your freight forwarder can provide that.
What countries do you serve? +
We have facilitated towel sourcing for buyers across four continents — including South Africa, the Middle East, Australia, and Europe. If you are an importer with a port and an importer ID anywhere in the world, the mill can ship to you directly.
What languages does Mr. Parikh speak? +
English, Hindi, and Marathi. Mr. Parikh is comfortable taking calls and meetings in any of the three — useful for buyers from the Gulf, the Indian-origin diaspora in Africa and Australia, and Indian distributors looking to import on behalf of regional brands.
Why Solapur for towels? +
Solapur, in Maharashtra, India, is widely regarded as India's towel weaving capital. The city has 300+ active power loom, auto loom, jacquard, and dyeing units, with deep specialization in towels and bed linen built up over generations. Sourcing from Solapur means buying at the source — no intermediate cities, no extra layers.
What GSM range do you source? +
Towels from 200 GSM (light hand towels and kitchen towels) up to 800 GSM (heavyweight bath sheets and premium jacquard). Most orders fall in the 350–600 GSM band — the sweet spot for hospitality and retail.
Can the mill handle private labeling and custom packaging? +
Yes. Solapur mills routinely handle woven labels, printed labels, hangtags, polybag packaging, master cartons, and gift-set boxing. Specify your packaging requirements with the initial enquiry and we'll confirm with the mill at quote stage.
